A 2-day River Rescue course for recreational and professional paddlers run by the New Zealand Kayak School in Murchison.

These courses use the defined NZOIA and WhiteWater NZ syllabi for River Rescue Courses designed for whitewater kayaks. These training courses are for recreational and professional paddlers to better enable them to safely paddle with their peers, when leading a group, or when providing an instructional or guided experience.

They are a pre-requisite to NZOIA Kayak 1 and 2 and Canoe 1.

Custom designed courses for groups of 6 people can be arranged. Canoe specific courses can be requested.

Course enquiries, application and payment should be made directly to the New Zealand Kayak School.
